It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

Hair Regrowth Potential
- Burnt hair shafts do not regrow.
- New hair can grow if hair follicles are intact.
Factors Affecting Regrowth
- Healthy scalp and follicles allow regrowth over months.
- Severe burns damaging follicles may limit regrowth.
Recommendations
- Keep the scalp clean and avoid further trauma.
- Consult a dermatologist if no regrowth occurs after a few months.

Summary: New hair can grow if follicles are unharmed. Proper scalp care is essential.

I'm 29 and dealing with baldness, and I'm considering hair transplantation. I don't know much about the process, though. Could you tell me about any side effects or other important details I should be aware of?

Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.
